    @Antibiotic No it’s not possible with NtopNG as it is not a Netflow collector. You need nProbe for that which will “translate” recieved netflows into flows that NtopNG understands and can visualize (with very very little detail might I add as Netflows has no additonal information apart from sender/reciever and volume). The NtopNG package and the product in general is more geared towards visualising and recording traffic details from actual packet captures. This contains MUCH more metadata about the sessions than netflows (DNS names, protocol information and myriads of other things). But pffSense Plus has a builtin Netflow exporter if you have an external netflow collector on hand.

    @jrey those pfb_*.sh files are the executables Thanks for clarifying the executables. I do not think that the hardware and table entry size won't be problem as the current configuration provides sufficient computation and memory for its operations. Pfsense is running in different hardware, e.g., Intel Xenon Platinum 8272CL processor and maximum table entries is set to 10 times than the default. pfSense Table Stats ------------------- table-entries hard limit 4000000 Table Usage Count 465931

    @jhg said in NUT fails to start after 2.7.2 -> 2.8.0 upgrade: Interesting. I would have thought the initial reboot, which occurred as part of the upgrade, would have done the trick, but it took a second reboot, just now, to get things working. Glad you have it sorted. There was no difference in the output of usbconfig show_ifdrv at any point -- before or after unplugging/replugging the USB cable, nor after rebooting. ... Question: What would tell me whether or not a driver was loaded? If there were an attached driver, it should have shown up with the show_ifdrv command. If you use the command and look at the other usb devices, I think they will show attached drivers. I don't expect to see a driver attached to the ups, because there is a quirk that tells the OS to ignore that device (and not attach a driver). Look for idVendor and idProduct in the above output. The Vendor ID for your device is 0764, which corresponds to Cyber Power Systems, and the Product ID for your device is 0601, which is registered as "PR1500LCDRT2U UPS" (don't sweat an exact match for the name). You can see the quirk with the following command: [25.07-RC][root@fw]/root: usbconfig dump_device_quirks | grep 0764 VID=0x0764 PID=0x0005 REVLO=0x0000 REVHI=0xffff QUIRK=UQ_HID_IGNORE VID=0x0764 PID=0x0501 REVLO=0x0000 REVHI=0xffff QUIRK=UQ_HID_IGNORE VID=0x0764 PID=0x0601 REVLO=0x0000 REVHI=0xffff QUIRK=UQ_HID_IGNORE [25.07-RC][root@fw]/root: Your device is third on the list. The HID_IGNORE quirk says to ignore the device and not attach a driver. @jhg said in NUT fails to start after 2.7.2 -> 2.8.0 upgrade: You might consider adding this resolution to the release notes for 2.8. LOL... sorry, I don't have input to the release notes (I don't work here). While I wrote and maintain various packages, including NUT, I'm still just a volunteer. Most packages are actually written by volunteers.

    Anyone else happen to notice that when configuring BFD, if you create a peer and select a profile - after save, re-edit the peer and the Profile is not represented. It appears as "None". You have to check the raw config to determine if the profile was actually assigned to the peer. This is on 2.8.1 (all packages up to date as of the date/time of this post). UPDATE: if re-edit and save (without re-configuring the profile none to what you want) - the save will strip the profile from the peer.

    Hi All, I use HAProxy to redirect to a range of https internal resources, this works really well at the moment through the WAN where I have source limits set up, and I can connect to the internal resources from limited external IP Addresses. Given I have tailscale I would like to basically be able to put custom dns entries in to point these hostnames to my pfsense tailscale IP4 address (100.89.148.118) but I am not having any luck getting this working. At the moment, I am just trying to connect to HAProxy using https://100.89.148.118 but it is getting blocked by the firewall. Sep 11 11:55:58 tailscale0 Default deny rule IPv4 (1000000103) 100.89.148.10:53148 100.89.148.118:443 TCP:S I have tried with and without NAT redirecting internally to 127.0.0.1, and I also have rules set up to allow any traffic to and from my tailnets (defined in an alias) but I still keep getting these connections from my other tailscale machines being blocked on the pfsense machine. Can someone give me some pointers on what I am missing because I can see the requests are coming through to the pfsense machine, and in theory the rules should allow it through but I cant see why they don't. I do have tailscale ACL in place, but clearly that is not an issue as the requests are making it through to the firewall. 0/0 B IPv4+6 TCP/UDP TailNets * TailNets * * none Allow across Tailnets 0/0 B IPv4+6 TCP/UDP * * * 443 (HTTPS) * none Allow Tailscale IP4 I also tried adding a EasyRule but because the tailscale0 interface doesn't exist in pfsense it throws an error and won't let me add that rule. Appreciate any help or tips, Cheers.

    Unless there are 5 zeros after a number, no government will bother with it. If tomorrow (or next week, since it's a weekend) pfsense starts selling for a 6 digit number, every single government on the entire planet will write laws requiring its use. Then there will be the "Security Experts" that studied "Information Systems Security" and took a couple of "Security in an Inter-connected World" seminars. Those insert a not-so-flattering comment here will come along, sign a contract for "Systems Support and Maintenance" and will take 3 years to install a patch. During those years every (as the saying here goes) dog will piss on the systems. Disclaimer: This paragraph has been an actual fact. A well known middle-East ISP, whose name shall not be mentioned, in order to protect the guilty, took 3 years to patch a damned system. In the meantime, every single username and password of every single customer was leaked on the internet. Anyone with a computer that knew how to download an exploit (ie most "hackers") was granted free access to it. Last time I checked, the list is still there. You can now understand why I sound so angry on these forums (usually) because I have to deal with the "Security Experts" that studied "Information Systems Security" and took a couple of "Security in an Inter-connected World" seminars, daily. For example last week I called a guy, which I'm sure has 20 years experience in IT. I can actually vouch,without ever talking to him before, that he is the best there is in this country. "Hi, this is ….. you talked with ..... to get a domain transfered. Have you prepared the domain for the transfer?" The 20-years-of-experience guy's response was "I don't need to prepare anything, you just initiate the transfer and I get an email to accept it." My response "no, actually the transfer will fail, unless the domain status is ACTIVE or OK. You can check it with a whois on the domain. Right now it says...clickety-click Registrar-lock. Can you please remove the transfer lock and get back to me?" A week later, and I'm still waiting for the "Expert" to remove a domain's transfer lock. A process which takes exactly 17 seconds to complete. sigh Nobody bothers with security or learning something new each day to be honest. Most "Experts" are happy to know how to turn on a system and get on fb and that's it. That actually makes them the very best there is in multiple countries, the geek-elite. I could go on all day, but it's getting off-topic. My apologies to the OP for going off-topic.

    Snort Blocked Host

    @jdeloach: Does Snort Block Hosts work? In Snort Interfaces, Alert settings, I have "Block offenders" checked.  Since I'm still learning my way around PfSense and it's packages, is there some other place that I need to enable something so Snort will block offenders or at least list them under the Block tab? I have several entries in Alerts but Blocked is always empty. Couple of things to check.  First, examine the IP addresses of the entries on the Alerts tab and see if they are part of any whitelist.  Snort automatically whitelists any locally-attached IP networks and the WAN interface IP and far-end gateway.  Second, it could be that the hosts are blocked but the "clearing the block table" issue discussed here frequently is removing them before you see them.  This refers to an issue that cropped up in the 2.1 release of pfSense where any thing that causes a reload of the firewall filter clears the Snort block table.  However, as has also been written about here on the Forum many times; clearing the block list is not a huge deal because the offending host will be "re-blocked" when more traffic is observed by Snort.

    @simby: Hi! when will you release new v. Snort? :) It is currently under review by the Core Team developers.  They have been quite busy lately with the firewall code itself I understand, so some of the package reviews have suffered as a result and they are behind.  If you want a preview of what's coming, here is the GitHub link to the Pull Request:  https://github.com/pfsense/pfsense-packages/pull/552.  This updates the Snort binary to 2.9.5.5 and adds a number of additional configuration features for the preprocessors including multi-engine targets.

    Snort alert not reproducable

    @digidax: So, after sniffing with tcpdump I can reproduce the problem now: There is a bug in the IMAP preprocessor during handling TLS communication: http://seclists.org/snort/2013/q3/453 Is there a bug tracker where I can see the status of this reported bug? I my case, User 1 has a bad DSL-Line. If during the TLS session snort gets a hiccup, the mail server gets a broken TLS login and so it's close the session. Until this bug is not fixed, there are two ways: disable the IMAP preprocessor OR switch of TLS for IMAP auth. best regards Frank I have a new Snort package based on the 2.9.5.5 binary that is being reviewed by the pfSense Core Team now.  Hopefully they approve and merge it soon.  I believe some TLS fixes are in the new binary.

    @thermo: ssh into your pfsense & into the shell. killall radiusd /usr/local/sbin/radiusd -X and watch the output. No need to kill the process just stop it on GUI. radiusd -X  will run freeradius in debug mode and tells you everything. In freeradius GUI you can enable the logging of good and bad authentications - passwords and usernames will be shown in pfsense syslog. Further make sure that the switches and WLAN AP have the same shared secret as in freeradius NAS/Clients. Make sure that your switches and APs send its correct NAS-IP to freeradizs and configured in Users. Freeradius - View config could help you to find out if your Users file looks correct and represets all your paramwters. The order in the users file is important. So if there is one user added twice the first match will win.

    of course it is possible, in squidguard using group acl feature you can create different user profiles by source or captiveportal usernames(squid3-dev required) with different filtering options

    Hi, you could try this: http://wiki.squid-cache.org/SquidFaq/ClearingTheCache Pruning the Cache Down and Changing the Cache Levels Perhaps downsizing the HDD cache could solve the problem. But you changed the path and if it works it will be ok :)

    I have a workaround which involves modifying havp.inc - I know it will get overwritten when I reinstall HAVP package. I wasn't able to get internal and NAT rules to work so I modified the rule / filter using supernetting so it will not redirect to HAVP if destination IP falls within the IP range. If anyone has gotten internal and NAT rules to work, please let me know.
